Chapter 582: Solving the Witch

Bai Meishan's idea was feasible, but there were major problems regarding its execution.

Because she discovered that the energy within this "No. 0" Witch was truly too terrifying.

It was simply not something people like them could control.

When the Witch went berserk, she wiped their experimental base in Busan directly off the map.

To this day, Bai Meishan still feels a lingering fear when she thinks of the scene of the Witch floating in the air, wantonly unleashing her power.

Fortunately, the Witch was kind by nature and did not kill wantonly after gaining power.

Aside from those guys who tried to dissect her, the Witch did not kill any of the researchers.

This kind nature gave Bai Meishan an opportunity to exploit.

So, for the next period of time, Bai Meishan displayed all her goodwill and kept the Witch by her side for research.

Gradually, Bai Meishan figured out how the energy within the Witch's body operated.

And she successfully extracted a portion of the energy from the Witch's body to feed to that "great" existence.

Sure enough, those broken pieces of flesh greedily absorbed the energy and were recovering rapidly.

This made Bai Meishan very happy, feeling that she had helped that great existence.

She even thought about sacrificing the Witch to it! But unfortunately, that "great" existence was far too weak, while the Witch was far too powerful.

Not only could it not shake the energy within the Witch, but it even nearly injured that "great" existence.

At this, Bai Meishan dared not act rashly.

After researching for a long time, Bai Meishan thought of a method.

Weaken the power of the Evil Energy within the Witch, so that the "great" existence could devour the Evil Energy and revive.

But wanting to weaken the Witch's power was difficult; Bai Meishan could barely control the Witch.

If it weren't for the Witch being too easy to deceive, it would have been even more impossible for their Gene Compilation Company to study the Witch.

So Bai Meishan thought of a way: use the method of gestation to have the Witch divide the Evil Energy in her body among her two children, as well as the clone assistant by her side.

The Witch often accidentally killed those around her because she could not control the energy in her body.

For this reason, she was willing to stay at the Gene Compilation Company and cooperate with Bai Meishan's research.

After some coaxing by Bai Meishan, the Witch actually followed through.

After giving birth to Ju Ziyun and ADP, a portion of the Evil Energy in her body was divided away, and another portion was divided away again using cloning technology.

In this way, the Witch finally met the criteria for the sacrifice.

So Bai Meishan threw all the Superpower research courses to her younger sister.

She focused on "feeding" the Witch to that "great" existence.

And Bai Meishan had already calculated that the Witch had a psychic link with her daughters.

Once that "great" existence absorbed all the Evil Energy and awakened, she would use the Witch to lure her two daughters over.

Then she would absorb the Evil Energy within the bodies of Ju Ziyun, ADP, and the clone, allowing that great existence to advance further.

……

Chen Jiajun was very fast; he intercepted the two sisters, Ju Ziyun, and held out until Dumu rushed over and pinned the two girls to the ground, unable to move.

But that clone walked straight toward the Witch and was pierced by the tentacles beside the Witch.

Then, in the astonished gazes of everyone, the tentacles continuously sucked the Evil Energy from within the clone's body.

The eerie green light soon followed the tentacles back into the Witch's body.

A moment later, a massive body emerged from the ground.

This thing looked like a toad, and in its mouth were things that were either tentacles or teeth.

Its whole body was covered in pustules, enough to trigger anyone's trypophobia.

After absorbing the clone's Evil Energy, this monster's mental pressure became even more powerful, and it set its sights on the two girls controlled by Dumu.

"What the hell, could this thing be the legendary Old God, Yogg-Saron?" Chen Jiajun cursed on the spot when he saw the creature's actual appearance.

If it really were an Old God, they would only have one option: use teleportation to run away.

But Lao E shook his head and said, "This thing isn't an Old God; it doesn't even have a rank as high as those of the Burning Legion!"

"Can it be killed?" Chen Jiajun asked immediately.

Lao E hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "It should be killable!"

"Damn it, then let's kill this thing!" Chen Jiajun hardened his heart and used the system to teleport, summoning all the Hell Knights over.

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, his subordinates beat their chests one after another and charged toward the tentacles, howling.

These tentacles had immense strength; even the powerful Hell Knights would be sent flying if they were struck.

But no matter how many tentacles there were, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of Chen Jiajun's men.

Not to mention that Chen Jiajun still had quite a few people standing by to provide support.

The large group of helpers Chen Jiajun suddenly summoned left Bai Meishan stunned.

She never imagined that Chen Jiajun could "call for people" at any time.

Seeing that "great" existence being continuously besieged and letting out bursts of shrill howls,

Bai Meishan was so anxious she was jumping up and down.

In her eyes, the "great" existence should be something that crushes humanity.

Yet now, it was being beaten until it was "howling" by the group of guys Chen Jiajun summoned.

This caused the worship in her heart to nearly waver.

It was just a pity she didn't know that the subordinates Chen Jiajun summoned were not ordinary humans.

"You'd better not move!" Chen Jiajun pulled out a Handgun, aimed it at Bai Meishan, and said coldly, "If you dare move an inch, I'll kill you!"

Although the small Handgun in Chen Jiajun's hand might only be tickling the monster, it was one shot, one kill against a person.

Although Bai Meishan's face was full of venomous hatred, she dared not move again.

Watching the intense battle before him, Chen Jiajun couldn't help but complain: "Damn it, this is almost like a natural disaster! And a man-made one at that!"

If it weren't for the fact that Bai Meishan might still be of some use, Chen Jiajun would have beaten this lunatic to death long ago.

At this moment, the battlefield had already entered a white-hot stage.

Although this monster was very powerful, enough to crush the ordinary heroes under Chen Jiajun's command.

Yet, under the coordinated efforts of the heroes, it appeared extremely powerless.

With the cooperation of the crowd of heroes and elite troops, the monster's mental pressure was no longer as terrifying as before.

This monster was not entirely without intelligence; after being focused-fired for over ten minutes, it finally realized that its huge, cumbersome body was practically a living target in front of Chen Jiajun's subordinates.

So, it suddenly retracted all its tentacles and, along with its massive body, burrowed into the ground.

Then, the controlled Witch slowly floated up, and a terrifying telekinetic force swept across the entire field.

No one expected that this thing would burrow underground while fighting and take control of the Witch's body.

Everyone was blown away by the telekinetic force, causing the momentum of the attack to suddenly stall.

"Trouble!" Chen Jiajun's heart sank as he saw the situation before him.

If they could kite the monster while it had a bulky body, now that it had switched to the more agile Witch, his human-wave tactics might not be as effective as before.

The Witch's combat power was more than a notch higher than the previous clones, and her telekinetic force was unleashed wantonly; whether it was arrows, javelins, or close-quarters attacks, they were all directly deflected. Most importantly, the monster manipulated the Witch's body and lunged directly toward the two sisters, Ju Ziyun and ADP.

If they let this monster devour the Evil Energy within the two sisters, then Chen Jiajun and his team would be completely finished! So, Chen Jiajun put on a set of divine gear again and blocked the path in front of the two sisters.

"Boom!" After a loud crash, Chen Jiajun was knocked back five or six steps before stopping, and the axe he swung also missed; however, the Witch just circled in mid-air, adjusted her angle, and charged over again.

"Damn it, is being able to fly so great!" Chen Jiajun cursed viciously, then blocked in front of the two sisters once more.

Seeing this, Lao E directly released his disguise, transformed into a massive demon form, and grabbed toward the Witch.

He smashed an energy wave of concentrated Evil Energy directly at her.

The Witch's telekinetic force could block physical objects like arrows, javelins, and bullets, but it didn't have such a good effect against pure energy.

"Hey, are you two dead yet!" Chen Jiajun roared impatiently at the Ju Ziyun sisters: "If you aren't dead, get up quickly!"

The two girls had previously been controlled by the monster's mental pressure, and now the monster had been beaten to half-death by concentrated fire.

By this time, the two girls had already broken free from the Mental Control.

Seeing their "mother" fighting in a tangle with Chen Jiajun and the others in the sky, the two girls appeared somewhat at a loss.

At this moment, ADP suddenly said to Ju Ziyun beside her: "Sister, Mother... wants us to kill her!"

"What did you say?" Ju Ziyun looked at her younger sister in disbelief.

ADP seemed a bit hesitant, but still nodded and said: "This is Mother's intention! She said she would create an opportunity for us to kill her!"

"Wh... why?" Ju Ziyun asked, full of confusion.

ADP said to Ju Ziyun: "Mother said... she is being controlled by the monster, and to prevent the monster from going out and hurting others, so... she wants us to kill her!"

"This..." Ju Ziyun immediately became conflicted.

In fact, she had only been controlled just now, but she had not lost consciousness.

She had clearly seen what happened before, but to ask her to kill her own biological mother.

For a moment, Ju Ziyun didn't know what to do.

Just as the two sisters were struggling, the Witch attacked again.

Chen Jiajun jumped over, used his shield to block the Witch's attack again, and shouted loudly: "What are you still looking at? Leave here quickly, the monster's target is you! If you let the monster swallow you, we will never be able to control this thing again!"

Ju Ziyun saw her mother, dressed in white, with only chaos and evil in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and said to Chen Jiajun: "Mother told me, let us kill her! She will create an opportunity for us!"

"Hm? Really?" Chen Jiajun was stunned for a moment.

Ju Ziyun nodded: "My sister told me! Mother doesn't want to let the monster out!"

"Tsk, as expected, the ones called Witches are the good people!" Chen Jiajun curled his lips while keeping an eye on the Witch's attacks.

Since Ju Ziyun said the Witch had a way to let them kill her, Chen Jiajun felt it was worth a try: "Remember, this thing is not your mother now, you had better not hold back, we have no other chances!"

The Evil Energy inside the Witch was very strong; if they relied solely on Lao E's 【Evil Energy Burning】 and Bai Lu's 【Psionic Shock】, it was unknown how long it would take to drain the Evil Energy from the Witch's body.

Therefore, the words of the Ju Ziyun sisters could be considered a turning point for Chen Jiajun.

Ju Ziyun picked up the longsword that had fallen on the ground, took a deep breath, her eyes becoming resolute, and said to ADP beside her: "Sister, tell me when Mother says to act!"

Seemingly influenced by the mental connection, the Witch's frantic offensive seemed to pause for a moment.

Then she lunged toward Chen Jiajun again.

Chen Jiajun gritted his teeth and collided with the Witch once more.

This time, Chen Jiajun's legs sank into the ground, plowing two long trenches into the metal floor.

And just at this moment, the Witch suddenly clutched her head and howled in pain.

ADP shouted loudly to Ju Ziyun on the side: "Now is the time!"

Ju Ziyun grabbed the longsword, rushed quickly toward the Witch who was clutching her head, and then stabbed the longsword, which carried Magic Flame, fiercely into the Witch's chest.

Then she backhanded with the sword and directly severed the tentacle connected to the Witch.

With this, the monster's control over the Witch was completely gone.

The evil, crazy look in the Witch's eyes gradually returned to clarity.

Seeing this, Chen Jiajun was overjoyed and shouted to Dumu: "Dumu, pull that thing out for me!"

Dumu nodded, grabbed the monster's severed tentacle, and then the Hell Knights swarmed up, each grabbing an end of the tentacles.

Then, with all their brute strength erupting, like a tug-of-war, they forcibly dragged the monster out from the underground cave.

The monster had been beaten up earlier, and now its connection to the Witch had been severed.

By now, it was already extremely weak, and Chen Jiajun's group was best at taking advantage of someone when they were down.

He took the lead in the charge, hacking and slashing at the monster in a frenzy.

At the same time, Lao E's 【Evil Energy Combustion】 and Bailu's 【Psionic Shock】 continuously drained energy and life force from the monster's body.

Even with the strongest Evil Energy within the Witch's body, it was difficult to continue supporting the regeneration of this massive monster.

The monster visibly shriveled up, and its previous wound recovery also became sluggish.

And at almost the same time, the life force on the Witch's side was also rapidly decaying.

This was unavoidable; after all, apart from retaining a portion of her consciousness, the Witch's entire body had been assimilated by the monster, and strictly speaking, she was merely a part of the monster as well.

As the monster gradually perished, the Witch's life was also approaching its end.

"You... my daughters!"

In her dying moments, the Witch revealed a joyful smile, stroking the cheeks of Ju Ziyun and ADP.

Feeling the connection of their bloodlines, Ju Ziyun and ADP could not help but shed tears.

They hugged the Witch and sobbed.

The Witch did not have much time left and was extremely weak, only able to say intermittently: "It is so wonderful to be able to see you again! I still... hadn't had the chance to give you names before you were taken away!"

"You have suffered so much torture over these years... it is all because I, as a mother, was incompetent. I hope... you do not blame me!"

"My greatest wish is for you to be able to live on well!"

"Since you, Ziyun, already have a name, then give your younger sister one; let's call her Zishan!"

"Take good care of your sister in the future, remember to eat on time, Mother... can no longer take care of you!"

Hearing these words, the two girls were already sobbing uncontrollably.

After the Witch held her two daughters' cheeks and kissed them once more, she fell into a deep sleep.

No matter how much the two girls called out, there was no movement at all.

Chen Jiajun had finished cleaning up the monster's remains and walked over just in time to see this scene.

This made Chen Jiajun feel somewhat moved.

From what he learned from Bai Meishan, the Witch was indeed a very kind woman, even feeling deeply guilty for accidentally hurting others due to the outbreaks of Evil Energy within her.

She had even gone so far as to hide herself in the deep mountains and old forests just to prevent such things from happening again.

But an ambitious person like Bai Meishan, for the sake of the great plan she spoke of, had deceived this poor woman and even calculated her daughters into it; it could not be called anything but vicious.

So, after finishing off the monster and letting Lao E and Bailu drain the last trace of life force from the monster's body.

Chen Jiajun dragged Bai Meishan in front of the two sisters and said indifferently: "Your mother died because of her, so I think you must want to kill her with your own hands!" (End of chapter)
